I'm new to the site and learning how to navigate my way through. I live in Oregon, retired 4 years ago, I've just finished serving my last fishing reel (12) of them and once I get recovered from rotator cuff surgery, I plan on getting busy doing some salt water fishing. Thanks to you all of you that share your expertise here. Steve

Welcome from sunny Florida! Sadly I know rotator cuff inuries well. Don't slack on your exercises and you'll be out there slaying it before you realize it.
Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

Penn 113 4/0 black sided, I've had it since a teenager and never have put it in the salt. After taking it apart cleaning and fresh reel lubricants it works awesome. I did order a new drag set for it from mystic parts, thinking when I get in a more of a recovery stage from the shoulder surgery, I would take it apart & update the drag. I really need to find a 🐠 that would be a match for this reel off the Oregon coast. Halibut?  I'll have to do it from a part boat, as my 16 ft boat works good in lakes and I have no experience navigating a boat in the big water.  :)
